Full text

Hyundai is expanding the Palisade lineup with a new Black Ink Edition.

New range-topper starts at $59,280 and features a blacked out exterior.

Crossover has a hybrid powertrain producing 329 hp and 339 lb-ft.

Hyundai introduced the Ioniq 9 Performance Calligraphy Black Ink in April and now they’re following up with the 2027 Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy Black Ink Edition. It’s a blacked out flagship with a ridiculously long name.

}

});

Tongue twister aside, the model embraces the dark side as it sports a number of black components including the grille and badging. They’re joined by gloss black paint on the window trim, roof rails, and wheels.

Since that clearly isn’t dark enough, the model also sports dark chrome accents and satin black flourishes. While the crossover is available in Abyss Black Pearl, Hyundai also offers Creamy White Pearl and Ecotronic Gray Pearl for customers who want a two-tone appearance.

The black theme continues inside as the traditional silver accents have been replaced by a “premium black finish.” Hyundai was surprisingly coy on details, but noted everything from the door handles to speaker grilles and center console bezels are now black.

While the cabin comes off as dark and dreary, the crossover should come nicely equipped as the standard Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy has eight-way power front seats that are wrapped in Nappa leather and feature heating, ventilation, and a relaxation mode. They’re joined by a heated second- and third-row as well as a heated leather steering wheel and a tri-zone climate control system.

Buyers will also find a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch infotainment system, and a 12-inch heads up display. Other niceties include a 14-speaker Bose premium audio system, a dual pane panoramic glass roof, a hands-free power liftgate, and a wireless smartphone charger.

Power comes from a hybrid system that combines a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a 1.65 kWh battery and a six-speed automatic transmission with integrated electric motors. This gives the crossover a combined output of 329 hp (245 kW / 334 PS) and 339 lb-ft (459 Nm) of torque. We can also expect a fuel economy rating of around 31 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 31 mpg combined with front-wheel drive.

The Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy Black Ink Edition will arrive at dealerships later this month and pricing starts at $59,280 with front-wheel drive and $61,280 with all-wheel drive – including a $1,600 destination fee.
